Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature

While everything is ready for a holiday dinner, Toby, the adorable little mouse, wonders what holiday presents he could give to his family and friends. "Everyone already has the pictures I draw," Toby says to his mother. She replies that Toby could give the most special gift of all, his love. "How do I give love?" Toby asks, as he squirms onto his mother's lap. "With a hug and a kiss," answers his mother. And Toby happily replies, "I can do that!" So out he goes to give hugs and kisses to friends and family. His grandmother says, "You make me so happy." His grandfather replies, "Toby hugs are the best hugs." Toby's father tells him that he is his little sunshine, and his mother tells him that he makes every day special for her. A wonderful, heart-warming story that shows children they can make others feel special and loved. The lovely and charming illustrations complement the story perfectly. The sturdy reinforced pages will ensure the continuous enjoyment of the book for the whole family. Part of the "Toby" series. 2000, Little Simon/Simon and Schuster, $6.99. Ages 1 to 4.
